Kabul OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Shervin Alenabi and Jonathan Zaccaï's French-English series
Kabul OTT Release Date: If you're someone who followed the news back in August 2021 when the Taliban took over Kabul after the sudden withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, you'll probably remember the chaos, the fear, and the urgency of those days. Now imagine that drama, panic, and emotional intensity being recreated on screen through a human-focused political thriller. That's exactly what Kabul, the new French-produced, English-language series, is bringing to audiences. And the wait isn't long. Kabul will be streaming from June 20, 2025, exclusively on Lionsgate Play in India, in both English and Hindi. What is Kabul all about? Set against the haunting real-life backdrop of August 15, 2021, when the U.S. government officially pulled out its military presence from Afghanistan, Kabul dives straight into the mess that followed. It's a six-part mini-series that zooms in on the human stories trapped in political decisions, focusing especially on families, diplomats, soldiers, and ground-level agents trying to navigate the fast-collapsing situation. At the heart of the show is the Nazany family, an Afghan household suddenly targeted by the Taliban, trying to escape as the city goes out of control. But the family's plight is only one layer of this multi-threaded narrative. Alongside their story, Kabul reveals European operatives, including a French diplomat, an Italian attaché, and a German soldier, as well as others, scrambling to coordinate rescue and evacuation operations, often in direct conflict with local threats and global politics. Meet the cast and crew of Kabul The project is based on the personal experiences of Fabienne Servan-Schreiber, one of the show's producers, who was actively involved in helping evacuate Afghans during the U.S. withdrawal. Directed by Kasia Adamik and Olga Chajdas, Kabul is written by Olivier Demangel, Thomas Finkielkraut, and Joe Lavy. Fabienne Servan-Schreiber, Charlotte Ortiz, Matthias Weber and Thibault Gast have produced this under 24 25 Films and Cinétévé. Kabul was filmed starting in April 2024, with Greece (near Athens) standing in for war-ravaged Kabul, to safely and realistically bring the setting to life. The cast includes Shervin Alenabi, Jonathan Zaccaï (stars as a French diplomat trying to juggle political orders and moral responsibilities), Eric Dane (best known from Grey's Anatomy and The Last Ship), Thibault Evrard, Vassilis Kukalani, Jeanne Goursaud, Gianmarco Saurino and Valentina Cervi among others. It premiered earlier this year at the Series Mania Festival in Lille, where it received critical praise for its raw portrayal of a sensitive global moment. If geopolitical thrillers like Homeland, Fauda, or The Looming Tower caught your attention in the past, then Kabul is right up your alley, but with a European lens.

Brian Wilson Net Worth: Who will inherit the late Beach Boys star's fortune?
Brian Wilson, the visionary co-founder of The Beach Boys, passed away on June 11. The co-founder of Beach Boys, who created some of rock's most enduring songs such as 'Good Vibrations' and 'God Only Knows' passed away at the age of 82. Wilson's family announced his death in a statement on the singer's website. "We are at a loss for words right now," the statement said. "We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world." However, the statement did not disclose the cause of death. Wilson's career was marked by a decades-long battle between his musical genius, drug abuse, and mental health issues, and he suffered from dementia. The acclaimed American musician was unable to care for himself after his wife, Melinda Wilson, died in early 2024, which prompted his family to put him under conservatorship. Wilson's enormous contribution to music earned him a sizable amount of wealth during his lifetime. Let's take a look. Brian Wilson's net worth Over his illustrious career, Wilson created an estimated net worth of $100 million, made primarily from his time with the 1961 rock band. Before facing health struggles, he amassed significant wealth through various channels: Music royalties: Wilson's songwriting prowess continues to generate income. He earns approximately $10 million annually from music royalties, including streaming platforms like Spotify, where he reportedly earns around $15 million. Concert earnings: Despite health challenges, Wilson's live performances have been lucrative, with earnings per concert reaching up to $750,000. Publishing rights: In 2021, he sold his publishing rights to Universal Music Publishing Group for $50 million, receiving nearly $32 million for his songwriter share and $19 million for reversion rights. These ventures, combined with his enduring influence in the music industry, solidified his financial legacy. Conservatorship and estate management In early 2024, following the death of his wife, Melinda Ledbetter, Wilson's family petitioned for a conservatorship due to his declining health and a diagnosis of a major neurocognitive disorder. The court appointed longtime associates LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers as co-conservators of his person, responsible for his personal care and well-being. Notably, the conservatorship did not extend to his finances, as his assets were secured in a trust, with his manager, Hard, serving as trustee. Heirs and beneficiaries Wilson is survived by seven children from his two marriages. His first marriage to Marilyn Rovell produced two daughters, Carnie and Wendy Wilson, both of whom have pursued careers in music. His second marriage to Melinda Ledbetter, who passed away in 2024, resulted in five adopted children. Given the structure of his estate, the inheritance is likely to be distributed among his children, with the trust and conservatorship ensuring that his assets are managed in their best interests. The Beach Boys' legacy Wilson's legacy extends beyond his personal wealth. He co-founded Brother Records in 1966, a company that owns the intellectual property rights of The Beach Boys, including their trademark and music catalog. As of 2025, the corporation is equally owned by four shareholders: Mike Love, Al Jardine, and the estates of Brian and Carl Wilson. In 2021, the majority stake in the band's intellectual property was sold to Iconic Artists Group, led by Irving Azoff, indicating a strategic move to preserve and monetize the band's legacy for future generations . While the specifics of his estate's distribution remain private, it's clear that his family and trusted associates are committed to preserving his legacy and ensuring that his contributions to music are honored for years to come.

LA sports celebrities anticipate World Cup's arrival, hope political climate has cooled by then
LOS ANGELES — When the 2026 World Cup begins across North America one year from this week, sports figures from across Los Angeles are hoping the global soccer community will find the U.S. both inspiring and welcoming. The Fox network marked the one-year milestone Wednesday night with a big party at its studio lot in Century City. Attendees included everyone from 'Ted Lasso' star Jason Sudeikis to luminaries from every corner of the sports world in the nation's second-largest metropolitan area, including Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. 'I remember when the World Cup was here in the '90s, and then obviously what our American women's team did to win the World Cup ,' Harbaugh said. 'So yeah, I love sports, I love competition, and I think it's going to be incredible for our state, our city, our country. The vibe is going to be incredible to just have everybody here. I'm looking for another explosion of soccer — football — in America.' The attendees all expressed excitement about the return of the world's premier soccer tournament to the U.S. while acknowledging the uncertainty of whether the nation's fraught political climate could present significant challenges to the teams, the World Cup organizers and even the network that will broadcast the tournament domestically. 'I'm hoping this game can bring people together,' said former LA Galaxy midfielder Cobi Jones, a three-time World Cup veteran and the U.S. men's career leader in appearances. 'That's what we really want. We're talking about the travel bans and all that, I'm hoping that FIFA can work together with our government to find a way that everyone can be here, everyone can enjoy this sport, because it's a cultural event that's happening here in a year. I expect everyone from around the world to be able to come here and enjoy it.' Los Angeles is in the midst of several days of protests against intensified immigration raids across the nation that could cause international fans to wonder whether they can travel to the tournament safely. President Donald Trump's latest expansive travel ban has raised questions about whether some soccer fans will be able to visit at all. 'I think it will get figured out,' Harbaugh said. 'To quote the late, great Tom Petty, most things I worry about don't end up happening anyway.' Jones also preached caution for U.S. fans already fretting about the dismal state of their national team. Coach Mauricio Pochettino's squad is on its first four-game losing streak since 2007 after getting thrashed 4-0 by Switzerland on Tuesday in its final tune-up for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. 'We don't panic right now,' Jones said. 'Talk to me when we're a month out. I've seen from experience that with a year out from the World Cup, the team is going to completely change . So for me, it's all about a general sense of whether they can come together as a team, because it's not about the individuals. We've seen it so many times.' soccer: /soccer
